Blues 2025

@Duluth Funaki opted not to go under the knife but try and rehab the shoulder - 8 week return time-frame if all goes well
Think already mentioned but Sullivan likely out of SR with lisfranc injury

[george33]

Been told Sullivan out for another 4-5 weeks all going well.

[Duluth]

Sometimes the jerseys at training are an indication of the 23..

Dalton back as expected. Perofeta back as well.. do they ease him back off the bench? Is that Taele in a blue jersey too?

[Duluth]

Anyone heard what Riccitelli’s injury and prognosis is?

I see his injury is listed as “chest”

[george33]

Riccitelli has injury around the collar bone hopefully only 2- 3, weeks and Zarn Sullivan is out of his moon boot, and Sotutu available against Crusaders.

[Duluth]

Good to see them put out a list with dates

I hope the season is still alive in 4-6 weeks. At least there’s a bye during that time

[Steven Harris]

@Canes4life they have played both the Chiefs and the Blues although the Blues had few out
Still I would rather be sitting where they are compared to where the Blues are sitting at the minute
Massive game coming up for Blues this weekend against your boys
Heard Kurt Eklund might be out again came back too soon against the Chiefs a couple of weeks back and re aggravated the groin strain he already have
Hopefully the extra week off might do the trick

[Grooter]

@Steven-Harris yeah Vernon Bason is now training with the Blues

[Duluth]

[george33]

Think
Patty will be available., he told me 2 weeks.
Times up

@george33 said in Highlanders 2025:

[george33]

@Kiwiwomble just ring Vern, hell answer that.

@Kiwiwomble early doors , not much will happen at this point, but some will now,

@Grooter Possible replacement for Riccitelli next year? Hope his throwing is better than Pole's and Mullan's.

Hope not, I think he in Canes academy.

[Daffy Jaffy]

NZ u20 hooker Vernon Bason is training with the team this week -

[Duluth]

@Daffy-Jaffy

If he gets a run it'll be the 4th hooker on debut this year

[SouthernMann]

Would be a smart signing for the future
